Happy Birthday Jack! | Personal (NYC Photographer)

It's official...my baby boy is ONE! It really is true how quickly time passes when you have a baby. In the 9 months of pregnancy, I felt like he would never arrive, but now I wonder how in the world an entire year has passed? I am completely in love with this little man and cannot imagine life without him. We spent today celebrating as a family (just us three), the big party is still to come in a few weeks giving me a little more time to deny that a year has come and gone already:) Happy birthday baby Jack!!!

Friday's Favorite Things | On To Baby (NYC Children's Photographer)

I have an enormous list of blogs I follow throughout the week including photoblogs, wedding blogs, mommy/baby blogs, and the list goes on. But I have a new favorite that just came out this week and I just had to share it with you. The name is On To Baby and the concept is genius. It comes from the founders of  The Wedding Chicks (a wedding style and inspiration blog), who (as they tell you on their site) both got pregnant this last year and thought their thoughtful and stylish approach to helping brides plan their weddings could be applied to expectant mothers too and so On to Baby is now here to do just that. As a children's photographer, creative personality, and mother too, this blog is so much of what I love put together in one site. Check them out for creative nursery ideas, birthday parties, photo shoots and more...you might just be inspired yourself:)

KAS Placement (NYC Photographer)

I met up with Ken Sundheim and his staff at KAS Placement yesterday afternoon. Ken is starting a career coaching section of his business and contacted me to partner with him on this new venture by offering professional headshots to each new client. I will also be working with Ken on general website photos for various publications and speaking engagements he is a part of. As business grows, I think you'll be seeing quite a few photos from the people I meet through KAS. Here's a few shots we took yesterday afternoon for the launch of their new coaching website.

XOXO | Personal (NYC Photographer)

We don't typically make a big deal out of Valentine's Day in our house, but this year I couldn't resist. After all I now have TWO valentine's in my life and I think that's worth celebrating. So, from my newest hearthrob...Happy Valentine's Day!

Friday's Favorite Things | WEDDINGS (NYC Wedding Photographer)

A large part of my photography business is filled with kids and their families (as you can well tell), but I also really love doing weddings! I love the chance to enter into such an emotional and joyous day with a couple. I only take a limited number of weddings per year (although that number is definitely growing), which keeps my contact with each couple incredibly detailed and personal...something I will strive to keep the same regardless of how many weddings I am privileged to do each year. 

Something I get asked a lot is "do you travel for weddings?" The answer is emphatically "YES!" I love the chance to travel somewhere new and photograph in a new setting. At this point, I'd say that near half of the weddings I'm a part of are out of the New York area. I keep my travel costs to a minimum, so don't hesitate to give me a call (or tell your engaged friends to give me a call). 

Now, I have to share that part of my interest in this blog post today comes from my most recent wedding booking with Lucy + Brad. This wedding is already very personal to me, because Lucy was my doctor in Nashville:) Even more personal than that, she's the one who told me I was pregnant with Jack...a memory I will keep forever! Needless to say, her call was an incredible surprise and complete joy for me. I am already so excited for October 20, 2012!!

Friday's Favorite Things | Ansleigh (NYC Children's Photographer)

Seeing Oscar this week at his 4 month session has had made me thinking all week about one of my absolute favorite things in this business...a baby's first year! I love to watch them grow (literally) and see their little personality develop. I love being able to help a family document these changes through photos. And perhaps even better than seeing a little baby grow from their newborn session to their first birthday is when I get to see them beyond that first year too. One of my favorite examples (and this will come as no surprise to you I'm sure) is Ansleigh. I have been photographing sweet sweet Ansleigh since she was 3 months old....she's now 2 1/2. I don't see her as often as I once did, but even our yearly session is such a thrill for me. Besides the fact that she is too adorable for words or the fact that she takes fantastic pictures, I've also loved getting to know her family...her wonderful mom (thank you Stephanie), her grandparents and even her great grandmother. So here's a look at Ansleigh's first year (and her second too)...

Oscar: 4 Months Preview (NYC Children's Photographer)

Truly one of my favorite things about this business is to photograph a baby throughout their first year and today was another reminder of that. Oscar is officially 4 months old now and he is beyond adorable! You may remember him from his newborn session just a few short months ago (it really does go by fast doesn't it?). He is a happy, smiley, bubbly baby and I am so glad I get to watch him grow up! Despite the nasty NY weather today, we had a fabulous afternoon together...I think the pictures speak for themselves. I can't wait to see him again in just another 3 months!
